Only if you want laaaag, dont they use a 3076 chra? Way too big for the stock housings unless you are shooting for 300kw on 98. I would suggest staying as close to stock sized wheels as possible or you will have to factor in thousands in ecu, engine and gearbox mods.

yeah sorry i should have mentioned that

engine mods? nah. gearbox mods? shift kit SHOULD do it. however i notice the US guys are using new TCs to stop overheating. However this is before they do shift kits.

ECU is a necessity anyway, even if its to trim fuel on a stock setup

unless you have some way of controlling everything don't go bigger than a Sierra Stage 1. This is a proven good setup with the VQ25DET.....if you go bigger you WILL have lag issues.

I have the GT30/71 core with the Garrett BB set but I have spent a lot of time and money getting it sorted......only go this way if you find some way of controlling/modifing the Cams and Throttle restriction!

My suggestion is to go with Precision Turbo's in Wetherill Park.....while GCG are OK they have a very noisy barring......to me they don't sound right.

Cool, appreciate your feedback on GCG, i think I'll avoid them.

I'll do some more research and also give Precision a call when the time comes.

Turbo arrived today too, thanks Griffin!

Sold to me!

I ended up paying $100 for it, not sure if that's good or bad but to me it's a great insurance policy to have hi-flowed and ready to go in when the original one packs it in.

Um, no. Back one page you'll see it's sold (to me). thumbsup.gif

Cheers,

Jas

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
